I hope so, Kay! The shop is really cute and she does a ton of cookies with only a few cupcakes and scones. I see plenty of room for cake! I think I'll make up a couple of goodies in the next few days and take her a platter to taste. Mom's birthday is next week so it is time to bake a cake anyway.

My birthday is on Thursday if you need any extra practice ;) The Evil One's throwing me a party for my 50th on Saturday if anyone's in the Michigan area looking for something to do. PM me for details/address :)


Master of Bassets...and not much else.

Happy early birthday, Mike! I hope it's a great one!
The one and only time I mailed baked goods, USPS set a new record with slow delivery.
Silly REOnut ate it anyway.

Karen - I started with the easiest setting and am working up the minutes slowly but surely. I have it where I can just pull it out and watch TV, and I put the remote in the book stand so I can fast forward through commercials. I make sure I breath and just go until I can't anymore, then I look at how long. When I was using it on the preset stuff it was too difficult and it bummed me out that I couldn't do it. This way, I let my leg tell me when I need to stop. And I only do it every other day so it gives the muscles time to repair :)

Kay - glad you are feeling better and have a new computer. Get someone smarter than I am to tell you how to load teamviewer, then have them come on and get you ccleaner and such. Then make a day to do computer "chores" so it stays clean and working well. A little prevention should keep it working well (as someone who came on my computer through teamviewer and fixed me up told me).

Jen - I am so glad you found an opportunity to work with someone you get along with, it makes life so much nicer!

Darrell - I am so glad you are going to keep Dora! Fingers crossed that she goes unclaimed :D

Mike - happy big 50!!!!


Is anyone else watching the Breaking Bad marathon on Sundays? I have been watching a few and then recording the rest since DH has to go to bed so early. I thought I remembered it all, but it seems I have forgotten so much! It is still in the funny part where "if it can go wrong, it will" and have yet to see Saul. I just love that character, can't wait for his show to start too. I hope it's as funny as I think it will be and they leave all the dark stuff out.

I hope everyone is doing well, or recovering well and having a stellar day!

Normally I would start by saying "Good evening, everyone!" But to be honest..I am just stunned beyond words. So is Wayne. Today I got a card in the mail with two more cards inside.......


What a gift....I am honored...and humbled....and completely surprised. We were prattling on today about what to get: new kitchen stuff, upgrade this or that...but it was an easy choice. I work on this incredibly lame office chair that I bough for my last job like 10 years ago used...for $50. My previous boss was a cheap ... and I couldn't work on the chair I had. I didn't have a lot of money so I got what I could afford at the time and it did its job....but it's way past its time. So we talked and given that during production, it is common that I'm in that chair 16-18 hours a day, I need something better. So we're going to buy ourselves two new office chairs with the adjustable everything and mesh ....no more cushion seats that go flat within a few days. (yes, I know...losing some girth will help too...I'm already on that. :D) So not only will you have a part to play in the dream, but you'll have a part to play in our success at what we do.

Geez, I don't know what.....Thank you! I'm feeling so silly blessed right now. :wub:

Good to see you too!

I take it things have been going well? :D

it's all relative I guess....yes....we're getting close to being done with the house and we're ready to move, like last year. I'm falling in love with our new home more and more each time I go down there. But the stress is taking its toll on us all...our builder is missing a bit of spine and so the subs are kind of finishing their work when they feel like it and he won't commit to a schedule or a timeline. Both Wayne and I are totally schedule driven almost to a point of OCD. So we're not handling it well....ugh. But trying to remain positive and roll with the punches.

Work is hectic, kids are crazy, and the house is taking up a ton of our time. I almost feel guilty for not being in here more. I've been missing my "team." :wub:

Hi Darrel :wub: It's good to see you. Ya...I know....when the cat's away..... I'm so far behind I'm not sure I can go back.... I start distribution tomorrow and another one of our kids quit, so we have 3 more routes added to our list. So I'll be gone the rest of this week and the weekend now too. :(
